“PRURITUS”

.

(“itch” is a ‘sensation’ that causes the [‘desire’ / ‘reflex’] to ‘scratch’)

.

(“itch” has resisted many attempts to classify it as any 1 type of ‘sensory experience’)

.

(‘modern science’ has shown that ‘itch’ has many similarities to ‘pain’)

(while both are ‘unpleasant sensory experiences’, their ‘behavioral response patterns’ are different…)

(‘pain’ creates a ‘withdrawal reflex’)

(‘itch’ leads to a ‘scratch reflex’)

.

(‘unmyelinated nerve fibers’ for ‘itch’ + ‘pain’ both originate in the ‘skin’)

(however, information for them is conveyed centrally in 2 distinct systems that both use the same [‘nerve bundle’ + ‘spinothalamic tract”)
